This study is addressed to study characteristics of expatriate chauffeurs in Saudi Arabia. The study mainly focused on the Eastern Province, Makkah and Riyadh regions. The reason for selecting these three regions is that the traffic accidents in these regions account to 78.26% of the total accidents in Saudi Arabia, and it is expected that there is no difference between these regions and other parts of the country. This study aimed to study the socioeconomic characteristics of expatriate chauffeurs who are involved in traffic accidents and evaluate the effectiveness of the driving schools in enhancing the safe driving capabilities of the drivers in general and of the expatriate chauffeurs in particular. The results will lead to a better understanding of expatriate chauffeurs and suggest ways to reduce their involvement in accidents.
